This changes the scarecrow and all 8 of the rarecrows in the game to be cats on different pedestals/cat climbing tower thingies. Its pretty darn cute. Who wouldn't want ferocious guard kitties to keep the crows at bay?

Here's what changes:

**The screenshot sort of makes it look like there's strange white pixels under the pedestal for some cats, but its just a compression problem with my image, those spaces are transparent in game.

Installation Instructions:

Download the mod

Extract the archive

Go to Stardew Valley/Content/TileSheets

Replace the Craftables.xnb file with the one from the download

**You can easily create a backup of your original Craftables.xnb file by renaming it to something silly. I do Craftables.xnbOLD for myself.

Credits:Lots of thanks to @Korokos for their giving me their permission to re-use their work on many different cat breeds in their Longhair Cats mod which inspired me to make this (even if I didn't use the sprites, I was still heavily influenced).

Likewise to @DibJib for giving me permission to use the Nyan cat sprite from their Nyan Pet Cat mod. Its lovely and basically reproduced here as-is.

Also to @Crazy_Leen for their Studio Ghibli Re-Textures mod, where I got the idea to replace my own scarecrows to be something cuter than what came with the game.

Lastly to @WildSpirits for the calico breed available on their Pet Replacements mod, which inspired me to create my own version of the breed.

Changelog:
